Eliminate the " On / Off Switch " ????

Hey guys I was wondering your thoughts on removing the " on / off " switch ?? I red and another forum that guys are removing them by cutting off the switch and soldering the wires together , to eliminate a problem with broken switches ! So what do you think ???

iv herd of guys doing this on scalers and crawlers as a way to further "waterproof" things.
idk, personally id rather have the on/off switch. after 14 years in the hobby iv yet to have one fail on me. on the other hand they are probably more a convenience and/or safety item more than anything.
my opinion, leave it on there until you have problems with it, then cut it off and solder the wires together
